chairperson. A student who has an “I” grade may not re-register in that course.
However, if the “I” grade is changed to an F, the student may re-register for the
course.
AUD-Audit
Students may register for courses as auditors (that is, without receiving credit)
if space is available in the class after all credit-earning students have been
placed. Auditors must follow all registration procedures and pay appropriate
private charges.
A student who audits a class will be issued the final grade of AUD. This grade
will not be calculated in the student's grade point average or as registered
hours for the purpose of academic warning and exclude status. (See page 21
Academic Status).
NSW - No - Show Withdrawal
Students who do not attend a least two of the first three class sessions and do
not inform the instructor of their intention to continue in the class will be
withdrawn from the class by the instructor and issued an NSW. Tuition and
applicable fees will be assessed for dropping the class. A student who has been
issued an NSW may be reinstated in the class at the instructor's request. NSW's
are not counted as registered hours for academic warning and exclude status.
ADW - Administrative Withdrawal
Students who have been continuously absent the three-week period just prior
to midterm, will be withdrawn from class and issued a final grade of ADW by
the instructor, unless the instructor has documentation that the student is still
actively pursuing the course, as evidenced by completed papers, exams,
quizzes or projects.
A student who has legitimate reasons for such absences must meet with the
instructor no later than two weeks after the mid-term date (one week during
the summer term) and state those reasons and other relevant considerations for
requesting reinstatement. The instructor may recommend reinstatement after
consultation with the student. A student who receives an ADW may not elect to
withdraw from the class at a later time. If a student receiving an ADW repeats
that course only the last grade received will be calculated in the GPA although
both the ADW and the letter grade will appear on the permanent academic
record and will be counted as registered hours to determine academic warning
and exclude status. ADW's received after Spring 1988 will not be counted in a
student's GPA.
WTH - Student Initiated Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from a course through the 13th week of the semester
(the sixth week during the summer term) if not already ADW'd by the instructor.
